Charlotte are certainly not floury potatoes, so you should enjoy them! We have done an article on waxy and floury potatoes at http://topveg.com/2007/03/waxy-floury-potatoes/ I shouldn't worry about being late with chitting - the ground is still too cold and wet for planting anyway! Have you considered joining our forum at http://topveg.com/forums/ It would be good to hear more about your gardening on there! Best wishes TopVeg Hi Ray

Iam 78 and still enjoy my gardening and still willing to learn. I have a very small garden which keeps me and my wife in vegetables throughout the summer, I grow early potatoes and for the last 2 years have been very disappointed withthe crop it has been plentiful but the pots are floury and we both hate floury pots I am going to try "Rocket" or "Orla" if I can get them You will see by the date of this Email I am going to be late getting them chitted so would be better off with "Charlotte" Thank You Ray Taylor Hi It was a bit of luck stumbling on to your website.

Charlotte also retains its texture well as a salad potato but can reach a decent size without loosing flavour. red duke of your tastes good but not good boiling it as very floury and very susceptible to blight Try Dunluce big crop of lovely tasting potatoes very early and can harvest early as news potatoes.
